My friend is moving her mother in law into their house. Her mother in law is not the easiest person to get along with - she was a hollywood lawyer married to a movie director/art cinematographer.

So they packed up her house but are moving her in small bits as they settle her in. So they told her to pick out the two boxes she needs and they would come back for more next week. So she pointed out the boxes and when they got her to their house those two boxes contained her french china. She had left the boxes with her essential clothes at the old house. So they had to go out and buy her underwear and a few things so when her mother in law complained that the items were no where near what she needed in quality my friend said well you should not have brought the boxes with the China and her mother in law looked at my friend like she was crazy and said but I need that China.

My Mom lived with me for 9 years and it made me laugh because my mother was exactly the same. Mom eventually had to go to assisted living then a nursing home where surprisingly she is happy playing cards and bingo. We barely got her in assisted living when I was in the accident so we were lucky that way and I found out about her current nursing home and how nice it was when I was in the nursing home all those months recovering from the accident.

Living on a busy street and in an urban area, we never hear wild birds. Today, I went to a large shopping area that had many large trees. While walking through the parking lot, I heard a cacophony of parrot calls up in a tree. It was so nice to hear, I stopped and enjoyed the sound!

I did laundry by myself, and cleared more stuff from under the canopy (over boxes in the driveway), and cleaned up in the house. We have an endless supply of boxes from DH's dialysis supplies; between getting most of the piles of dirty laundry done, and clearing out the stacks of boxes, the house feels larger and less cluttered. A good day's work!

Yesterday, DH and I celebrated 19 years together. We first spoke on the phone on February 9th, and met in person for the first time on March 3rd. We went back to where we had our first date, this time for dinner rather than a cup of coffee. Knowing that we're still as happy now as we were during our falling-in-love phase brought a big smile to my heart!

Today, GD Kaile came over after school, and she was interested in watching a TV show I had recorded about top child bakers (about her age) in the Kids Baking Championship. It was fun sharing that experience, talking about their entries, and so forth. Tomorrow we get to see the finale!

After an intensely physical day Friday, today I just rested and relaxed in bed, with LOTS of cuddling with DH, our kitty Tabitha, or both... After the fun laughter of yesterday, today was filled with calm, peaceful smiles!

I called a friend tonight to remind her that a new TV show was about to debut. She had said last week she'd remember, but I grabbed the phone on impulse just in case. She hadn't remembered and was glad I called... So even though it's unimportant, I was happy I thought to remind her!

Having a "free" day, getting to my doctor for a long overdue check-up (all is well), and hanging out with a good friend afterwards. Then I went "window shopping" for furniture (which we can't afford now, but it's still fun), and on the way home, went to the store for needed groceries. The whole day made me smile - being out by myself, relaxing and gabbing, doing fun and work stuff for and by myself... A GOOD DAY!

Hehehe Dee,, I downloaded a MOUSE (For cats) game for her on my tablet. NOW she THINKS when I am on the tablet,, A LOT,,, it's for HER !!! I GOTTA get it onto youtube !
